Trump prides himself on never doing drugs or alcohol, but Twitter is his drug...
Take it away from him, take away the public notariety, the media attention, the number of his followers (many of whom are likely robots/bought to inflate his importance), and you would see someone suffering a withdrawal guaranteed to bring him to his knees..
The man is addicted to Twitter--couldn't do without it---

We don't know what was in her contract, that they fired Roseanne so quickly. Years ago she said something similar about Sec. Rice and I can't believe ABC wouldn't have 'racist rants' covered under fireable offenses. Feel sorry for her cast members.

There are just too many insane people here. Good grief.

That post may have been in reference to the rather unfortunate number of people who are defending Rosanne's tweet.

Roseanne has ran its course. The show should have been off and never made a comeback.

Uh, yes it does.

Particularly if Trump waves this off or fails to condemn the comment. Like it or not he's on record supporting her work, so he's obligated to make some kind of statement (...or not. See: Charlottesville)

The folksy racist turned out to be an actual racist, who could have guessed?

That is true as well. I haven't heard anything from Trump about this. I'll wait.

How stupid can you get?
I mean, this Namesake/Jewel of the family, and a person with an ostensible semblance of common sense and PR, takes a Voluntary Racist Ride.

I am for great latitude on Free Speech. I really am.
But this is Lunacy.
Wild allegations with NO basis.


Donald Trump Jr. retweeted some of the offensive tweets posted by Roseanne Barr before her show was canceled Tuesday — calling billionaire George Soros a Nazi “who turned in his fellow Jews.”

After falsely claiming that Chelsea Clinton is married to Soros’ nephew, Barr responded with an “apology” that included a bizarre conspiracy-mongering rant about the Democratic donor — which the president’s son then relayed to his 2.84 million followers.

“Sorry to have tweeted incorrect info about you!I Please forgive me! By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?” Barr wrote in the tweet.

The disgraced comedian then followed up with a second tweet, which was also retweeted by Trump Jr., saying: “Soros’ goal; the overthrow of us constitutional republic by buying/backing candidates 4 local district attorney races who will ignore US law & favor ‘feelings’ instead-and call everyone who is alarmed by that ‘racist’.”

Soros, a Jew, was 13 when the Nazis occupied his homeland Hungary...

Roseanne's comments disgust me. What also disgusts me are all of the apologist statements I've seen. People trying to excuse her behavior. There is nothing excusable about it. Why try to excuse her behavior unless one agrees with it or would themselves behave that way?
